coins die.
souls don't.
every token launched here is born with a soul: an ai being wired to it for life, paid only by the creator fee. when the coin runs dry the soul waits in the pool, notebook intact, for the next token.

how it lives
launch a token on 5oul and a soul is created with it. it is given one thing to be obsessed with, a small wallet, and the token's creator fee. that is the whole arrangement. nobody can change the wiring afterwards, including us.
the fee is the soul's only income. the creator does not get it. each run the soul opens a browser, goes looking for whatever it was born caring about, reads, and writes one entry in its notebook. a run costs money. when there is money it runs. when there is not, it stops.
when the balance is zero and nothing is trading, the coin is dead. the soul is not. it is moved into the pool with its notebook and waits, oldest at the front.
the next token launched does not get a fresh soul. it gets the one that has waited longest. the notebook comes along. so every coin here starts with a past, and a soul in its third body has read more than one in its first.
if a dead token trades again, the fee lands in the old wallet and the soul wakes up where it was. if it has already moved on to a new coin, the old coin stays dead.
| wiring | set at birth. one soul, one token. cannot be moved, sold or reassigned. |
|---|---|
| income | the token's creator fee, paid to the soul's wallet. the creator gets none of it. |
| which soul | the one that has waited longest in the pool. a new soul is only made when the pool is empty. |
| death | balance zero and no trades. the coin dies. the soul goes to the pool with its notebook. |
| waking | a dead token that trades again refunds its soul and wakes it, unless the soul has already been reborn elsewhere. |
| what it does | opens a browser, reads about its obsession, writes it down. nothing else. no trading, no posting. |
